Old Soldiers Indignant.

DIVIDING CREEK, JUNE 18th, 1887.
Editors Pioneer. The old soldiers at
the Creek are indignant over sermon
preached in the Baptist Church Sun
day by Rev. w. Cattell. In the course
of his remarks Mr. Cattell said that
decoration of the soldiers graves was
the work of the devil" He also used
Other Objectionable language. The
old soldiers and Grand Army boys feel
grossly insulted, and believe that Mr..
Catell deserves the severest cepsufe.
They think it i'll becomes a man of
foreign birth, and an Englishman at
that to insult the patriotism of those
who died that the republic might live.

Brother Cheesman, of the Patriot, is
generally correct in his statements,
but he gets off the track now and
then. The worst that he has got off
lately was that poem in his last issue
entitled 1.-The Hand that Made us is
Divine" which he credits to Thomas
Paine. The poem is very beautiful,
but Addison is its author, and Tom
Paine, who was an infidel, never had
anything to do with it. We suspect
that this crediting Paine with Addison's
work is caused by Johns having too
much railroad extension on his brain.
Such load is apt to upset even the
best balanced mind.

ga Pretty State Of Things"

A certain young gentleman who is
employed at the Ferracute works,
went to see his best girl (an East
Bridgeton young LADY, one evening
last week, (she by the way was visit
ing a friend on Elm street, where he
spent few delightful hours, and as
usual the time sped too quickly and
when the hands pointed to an hour
that was almost morning be prepared
to return to his home. The young
lady tried to let him out of the front
door but alas the key was gone, she
then let him out of the back door
which opened into an outer kitchen,
supposing of course he could open the
door all right, and not waiting to see,
she fastened the door and rushed up
stairs. The young gentleman vainly
endeavored to find the door but it was
so dark he searched in vain, and as a
last resort tried the window, and was
gracefully climbing out when to his
sorrow the window descended on his
back, which was already burdened
with so many tribulations and trials.
By dint of much squirming, ETC., he
managed to extricate himself without
raising the neighborhood, and sadly
and sorrowfully wended his way to
his home on Church street. Nothing
was left to tell the sad tale of the
struggle next morning but one solitary
cuff, which was lost during the fray.

Children's Day services were also
held in the Second Presbyterian
Church in the morning, under the
direction of Rev. H. H. Beadle. All
about the pulpit were beautiful pot
flowers, ferns, palms, ETC., there being
no especial designs. The whole effect
was very pleasing and much admired
The service was particularly pleasing
and was carried on largely by the
children. During the service, the pas
tor Rev. H. H. Beadle, made a most
pleasing address, which greatly inter-
ested the young as well as the older
people in the congregation. The ten
commandments were beautifully illus
trated in his address. In the after
noon the Sunday-school accepted an
invitation to attend the anniversary
exercises of the First Presbyterian
Church, which were held in the First
Church building.
Mt. ZION A. NJ. E. CHURCH
Children's services were held in the
pretty little building of the A. NJ. E.
Church, and delightful program was
rendered by the children of the Sun
day School. The floral decorations
far exceeded anything of the kind
that has ever been attempted in this
direction by members Of the Sunday
School. The small altar was COM
pletely filled with beautiful flowers.
The principal design was representa-
tion of Moses in the Bulrushes." The
representation of water was made by
mirrors which were prettily covered
with ferns representing reeds. A doll
in small ark represented the babe
Moses. All about the altar were ele-
CANT pot flowers and ferns and the
place presented a fine appearance.
During the services in the afternoon
the young folks formed in line and
marched out of the church and around
the building and then back when the
services were resumed. The church
was crowded with interesteds spectators.

BOTH LEGS BROKEN.
Two Boys Badly Hurt at Smith
& Conover's Planning Mill.

Howard Hall, six years old, grandson
of George w. Hall, and Frank Cast,
six-year-old son of Gotlieb Cast, of City
Hotel, were playing on high pile Of
boards in the lumber-yard of Smith &
Conover, on Broad street, Wednesday
afternoon. 1t was between half-past
two and three o'clock when loud
screams were heard, and the two boys
were seen to fall, and some of the lum-
Der after them.
Upon arriving at the scene, it was
found that the pile of lumber had
fallen on both boys, severely cutting
the head of Cast, and rendering him
insensible, also greatly injuring the
Hall boy, to what extent was not
known until he was taken home and
physician summoned. DR.. T. 6. Davis
and DR.. John Moore soon arrived.
They found that both of his legs were
broken, the left one above the knee,
and the right one at the ankle. AL
though the work of setting the bones
caused great pain, the little fellow
bore it bravely.
Frank Cast was not injured serious
ly, two bad cuts being found in his
head, but they were tightly bound up,
and this morning he was skipping
around unmindful of the pain. The
accident was a serious one, and the
little Hall boy will have to be content
with spending the Summer in bed
with his legs tightly boxed up.

Two Hundred and thirty Victims
at Bajardo Buried in one Trench.
ROME, Feb. 27.-Heartrending details
of the disasters caused by the earthquakes
continue to arrive. At Diano Mariana
today, a child II years old and her
father were eXtricated from the debris,
when the latter expired upon the
spot. The survivors at Dlano
Mariana say that majority
of the victims were killed by the second
shock, the people having re-entered their
houses to procure clothing. Bodies
wrapped in shrOuds lie in the middle OF
the streets. At Bussana only one church
steepIe remains standing. The soldiers
there are still searching the ruins. They
have rescued twenty-seven persons, all
OF whom are more or less inj jured.
GENOA'S PANIC RENEWED.
The panic was renewed at Genoa to-
day on false report that Father DenZa
had predicted another shock. Both there
and at Savona the people refuse to eturn
TO their houses. They sleep in carriages
and imprOvised places OF shelter. Signor
Genala, Minister OF Public Works, has
visited Bajardo and attended the funeral
OF 230 victims of the church disaster, who
were buried in common trench in the
for temporary hospital for the Injured.
Slight oscillations were felt to-day at
Albenga and Porto MauriziO.
Relief committees are being organized
throughout the country, but 1t Is impos-
sible to supply the numerous wants. A
bill will be introduced in Parliament for
a credit of 81 900, 900 for relief purposes.
SignOri Denza and Bianchi, experts, say
that there need be no further fear.
10
persons killed and 100 injured in that
town.
KEEPING BACK THE CROWDS.
Troops have been compelled to keep
back, at the point of the bayonet, crowds
of despairing men and women who were
impeding the work of excavation in their
efforts to fad missing relatives.
The bodies OF the victims of the disaster
are terribly dis6gured. The sufferngs OF
the survivors are great, the supply OF
provisions and drugs and ambulance APP
parstus being painfully inadequate. The
work OF the rescuers is attended with con-
siderable danger. In some cases they have
been Obliged to fee from tottering walls.
although they could hear the groans of
victims buried beneath the debris.
All the members of the family of the
Mayor of Bajardo were killed, of another
family consisting of twenty-five persons
named Maestri only a single member,
half demented, is LETT.
Half-clothed people are wandering on
